Opnions?
I want to join see what its like with a view to joining the Army.
Anyone part of it?
I've been on the TA site and once you have completed training you only have to commit 19 days a year, you can obviously do more if you want to.
I am intrested greatly.

Nothing like the real army imo, mainly training and ur 19 days each year is for expiditions (sp) which are no more challenging than the shite i did with the army cadets.
You also only get to the L98 A1 rifle .... which is pants as well.
imo, dont do it
